Our main event is open to Grade K – 10 and younger siblings! This day will be filled with a variety of activities to showcase different aspects of engineering. The day will begin with a ‘Speed Engineering’ activity where students can talk to engineers from diverse array of disciplines.

Next up is the highlight event… a Design Challenge! Students will work in teams to design and build a structure to fit the requirements of the challenge set for them. Each design will be tested later in the day in front of the whole group.

Professional Engineers Ontario - Oakville Chapter

Through the Professional Engineers Act, PEO governs over 80,000 licence and certificate holders and regulates professional engineering in Ontario to serve and protect the public.

Professional engineering safeguards life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare and the environment.

About Our Chapter

Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) is the self-regulating body for approximately 80,000 professional engineers in this province. As such it ensures the highest level of professionalism among engineers working in the public interest. For purposes of governance and administration, Ontario is divided into five regions, with each region further subdivided into chapters.

PEO’s membership is made up of 36 chapters defined by geographical area. This means that its members live and work in the area the chapter serves and have a strong connection to the surrounding community. PEO chapters are active in delivering educational outreach, organizing community events and liaising with local government.

Oakville Chapter is part of the larger West Central Region and its boundaries include all of Oakville and Milton.
